Description

enhancement
Problem Statement

It's not really problem related but rather a cool addition to the app.

Proposed Solution

I would love to be able to see my current network speed (upload and download) on the status bar. I know some ROMs have this by default (Custom ROMs) but Stick ROMs lack it. I have tried using the app Traffic Light, but it would appear as a notification and I was looking for an overlay that I can position on the status bar as an element rather than a norification.
